Wipers and WashersE221743 E221744

Note:Make sure you switch the windshieldwipers off before entering a car wash.
Note: If streaks or smears appear on thewindshield, clean the windshield and thewiper blades. If that does not resolve theissue, install new wiper blades.
Note:If you switch autolamps andautowipers on, the headlamps turn on whenthe windshield wipers continuously operate.
Wet or winter driving conditions with ice,snow or salty road mist can causeinconsistent and unexpected wiping orsmearing.
On.A
High sensitivity.B
Low sensitivity.C
Use the rotary control to adjust the sensitivityof the autowipers. When you select lowsensitivity, the wipers operate when thesensor detects a large amount of water onthe windshield. When you select highsensitivity, the wipers operate when thesensor detects a small amount of water onthe windshield.
Keep the outside of the windshield clean. The rain sensor is very sensitive and thewipers may operate if dirt, mist or insects hitthe windshield.
In these conditions, you can do the following:
•Lower the sensitivity of the autowipersto reduce the amount of smearing on thewindshield.
•Switch to normal or high-speed wipe.
•Switch autowipers off.
Autowipers Settings
This setting defaults to on and remains onuntil you switch it off in the informationdisplay.
When you switch off autowipers, the wipersoperate in intermittent mode.

The rain sensing feature will not operateimmediately after starting your vehicle whenit is in park (P) and the outside temperatureis below 32°F (0°C). You can switch on thewipers by adjusting the rain sensor sensitivityor adjusting the wiper speed.
This prevents damage to the wiper bladesfrom ice and snow on the windshield.
